Looking ahead - Friday morning probably ....

I slept well, woke up to what I predicted.

daphnedill I have no idea, he's done what he set out to do and left the mess behind.

Apparently 72% of 18-24 year olds voted.

Paradox - population which delivered GE result not the same as those who voted for Brexit.

Farage is worried that there won't be Hard Brexit and we will try to stay in single market. He's clearly very angry. Ha ha ha!

Why does the media still interview him?

Didn't sleep - well I'm up every hour or so for a wee anyway. Enjoyed the fight rather like my younger days. What a silly woman- they ought to make her stay and work with the mess she's caused - but she'll be out. Boris will make a bid for the top and we'll have to go to the bother and expense of another election. Brexit delayed no doubt - less time when we get sorted to do it - Silly Silly egotistical woman!!

About 2 hours sleep here! I was following you lot, twitter and MN until about 4 a.m. Most exciting election for decades:-)

Good morning. We've got a Lib Dem MP, SNP has been given notice that we don't want another referendum. All good from my point of view.
Hung parliament most likely a positive thing.

Awake!!! 3 hours sleep.

Whod have thunk!!

Well goodness me. I didn't see that coming ( unlike Jalima) I have had about an hour's sleep.

I won a booby prize once at the first Beetle Drive I went to - it was a box of children's hankies and as I was a child at the time it was much appreciated.

GN has not been forthcoming with offers of prizes though, no nice holiday overseas to get away from it all.

mawbroom do you think that the fox thinks -oh let's be as cruel as I can possibly be and hurt as many bantams as I can?
unfortunately, although a fox may not think that (who could possibly know?) they will bite the heads off many chickens for no apparent reason and just take one for food.

You can my rock buns that'll sort em ?

I really hope that there will be a hung parliament and that the Greens win in Bristol so there will be another honest, sane and articulate MP to join Caroline Lucas. I have been won over by Jeremy Corbyn's integrity but with the state the Labour Party is in, I'd doubt the ability of the party to rule successfully if they won.

I don't consider I live in a democracy when a party voted in with 36% of the vote (i.e. in 2015) rules the country so harshly and drastically degrades the living standards of so many.

We desperately need proportional representation, especially with the coming rejigging of constituencies which will favour the Tories over others.

I'm with you re Friday morning Rigby!

May, majority 30 ()

May a majority of 80

(re your first post!)

I was thinking along exactly the same lines myself, NfkDumpling

But my money's on a hung parliament.

Anya - funny but I'm completely the opposite! I hope in a way that Labour wins, so I can say I told you so when Mr Corbyn gives away too much, businesses move abroad to avoid his high taxation and he borrows the earth to pay for all his promises. (Although we could always sell Trident.)

We could have a Booby Prize or forfeit for those who got it completely wrong instead.....that would be more fun

Hung Parliament? As predicted by Yours Truly
Is there a prize on GN for whoever predicts correctly?

Final election poll gives Jeremy Corbyn the lead over Theresa May for the first time

Not likely but the outcome just could be different to what we expect.

I hope, in one way, that the Tories do win this election. Though I dread what will happen to my GCs' schools, the NHS (as I'm of an age to starting calling on it more) and Social Care (goodbye house) ......at least I'll be able to say ' I told you so !'".

That's always very satisfying, isn't it?

Just watching Bernie Saunders - he may just as well be talking about the UK, we are simply a few years behind them.

pens as far as I am concerned, and what I fear will happen I think it is more important than ever absolutely essential to continue with voicing your democratic right!!

Whatever the outcome on Friday I will continue to promote and act on my political values and make comment on what I believe is the better option. As with the Brexit debate..because one 'side' won the vote does not immediately change my mind. I still have the democratic right to voice my views as vocally as ever!

Maw

It's a teensy bit early though petra - I'll be all over the yard and sleep through the excitement!
